Gooseneck Brass Swivel Wall Sconce

How high should I install a wall light above a nightstand?

Ideally, a wall light should be installed about 55-65 inches from the floor or 6-12 inches above the nightstand to provide effective lighting for reading or ambiance without causing glare.

Does this kind of wall light work well for ambient or accent lighting?

Yes, the curved arm and shaded design diffuse light gently, making it perfect for creating mood lighting or highlighting specific areas without being overly bright.

Will this light stick out too far from the wall in a narrow hallway?

Since the arm has a defined curve, it may project several inches from the wall. Always check depth measurements to ensure it won’t obstruct foot traffic or furniture placement.

Can this type of wall light be installed facing up or down?

Depending on the mounting hardware and shade design, many wall lights like this can be installed facing either direction, giving flexibility in both style and light direction.

What kind of style or decor does this light fixture complement?

With its brass finish and minimalist shape, it suits vintage, mid-century, industrial, and modern interiors, especially those with warm metal accents or soft ambient tones.

Will the brass finish tarnish or change color over time?

Brass can develop a patina with age, especially in humid environments. Some finishes are lacquered to resist tarnish, while unlacquered brass is designed to age naturally.

Can this light be used on either side of a mirror or vanity?

Yes, installing a pair of wall sconces on either side of a mirror provides balanced, flattering light for grooming tasks and enhances bathroom or dressing room aesthetics.
